I don't know about you but I will not turn down goods that are FREE! My Inlaws brought us 4 banana boxes full of corn in the husks. Not all were good but we salvaged what we could. And we ended up removing the corn from the cob and canning them in pint jars. So grateful to my Mtn Man for helping me in this task. From peeling the corn out of the husk to removing the corn off the cob! Wonderful Man he is!! Results: 25 pints all together!! Yay!! I pack them raw as I don't believe they need to be cooked twice! Never had an issue ever!! Aren't they pretty? This was my first batch...the second is getting fired up in the caner now. And my little stove is working beautifully!! Mtn Man mentioned to me...says you know you start out saying how much work it is but then you get those jars out and the caner out and you are beaming from ear to ear! Never seen the like! My reply.... I love providing for my family! Even if it is just the two of us! Never know when we will be sha...

So Mtn Man walks in and says well in Marquandian (Marquand is the nearest town to us) its called a Sweat Box! Good Morning!! I wanted to share that so we all can be in the asylum together! LOL! If you only knew...... Okie Dokie on to the garden. I planted my fall carrots on the 14th and beans on the 15th. Beets will be at the end of Aug and Turnips the beginning of Aug. Zucchini has officially bit the dust! I never thought one could kill a zuke plant! But it is official! Checking it over it looks like it made an attempt at producing but they rotted. There are new leaves coming on but I don't think it will produce much of anything. Will continue to monitor..... Pumpkin plant is not producing pumpkin... see for yourself Not sure what these are.....won't argue with God, we will eat them . Okra is growing beautifully. Not ver...

After it rained buckets of water and after my nap I went out to the garden. A little muddy as you can guess not really that bad. Hope you like the pics.... Roses on either side of the yellow gate-entrance to the garden Started with 16 viable plants suppose to be 24 but some did not make the trip Okra--Do believe I have 4 or 5 plants.
